Viscosity of Liquids Science Experiment

Description

Viscosity of Liquids Science Experiment | Properties of Matter Lab Activity | Scientific Method 

Science Topic: Properties of Matter

Help your students discover why some liquids flow faster than others with this engaging Viscosity of Liquids Science Lab! In this hands-on experiment, students compare how quickly marbles sink through water, cooking oil, corn syrup, and honey while learning about viscosity, the scientific property that describes how easily a liquid flows.

Designed for busy elementary teachers, this complete lab includes everything you need to confidently teach the lesson, from detailed teacher directions and scientific explanations to student worksheets that guide children through the scientific method. Students will make predictions, record observations, compare results, and draw conclusions while exploring an important properties of matter concept.
